Friday Tale: What Do I Have?
What do I have, Lord that you would need me as a servant?

Eyes, he said,  to see the beauty in all that I’ve made —  and my children as they travel life’s highway.

Hands, he said,  to reach out and touch hurting souls, to give a hug or encouraging pat on the back.

Feet, he said,  to lead my children through this world of strife  and to help them run from sin and follow me.

Mouth, he said,  to lift up your voice and sing praises to me  so others may hear the joy in your heart.

Ears, he said,  to listen to my still, small voice of love and to hear my children when they cry for help.

Heart, he said, so you may know the fullness of my love and love my children as I have loved you.
~ Thomas Butler

Praise the Lord! for it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant and a song of praise is fitting!
~ Psalm 147:1

  Friday Tale - May You ....   M ay your life always be Counterpoint to the Clamor of the World.   May you delight in Dancing Lightly With Life.   May you soar on eagle wings, high above the madness of the world.   May you always sing Melody in the Symphony of Your Life.   May you taste, smell, and touch your dreams of a beautiful tomorrow.   May your sun always shine, and your sky be forever blue. ~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie   BUT they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. ~ Isaiah 40:31

Christ is proclaimed,  and in that I rejoice.

  Friday Tale - "The Richest Man"   A rich landowner named Carl often rode around his vast estate so he could congratulate himself on his great wealth. One day while riding around his estate on his favorite horse, he saw Hans, an old tenant farmer. Hans was sitting under a tree when Carl rode by.          "I was just thanking God for my food." Hans said.          "If that is all I had to eat, I wouldn't feel like giving thanks." Carl protested.          "God has given me everything I need, and I am thankful for it." Hans replied.          The old farmer added, "It is strange you should come by today because I had a dream last night. In my dream a voice told me, 'The richest man in the valley will die tonight.' I don't know what it means, but I thought I ought to tell you."   ...
